Alsobrooks Breaks Ground on NEW Springhill LAKE Elementary School Built Through P3 SHE Spearheaded

July 9, 2026 GREENBELT, MD – Today, Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) joined Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) and Prince George’s County Executive Aisha Braveboy to break ground on the new 103,000-square-foot Springhill Lake Elementary School, which will accommodate up to 850 prekindergarten through 5th grade students. When she served as County Executive of Prince George’s County, Senator Alsobrooks worked with former PGCPS CEO Dr. Monica Goldson to create a Public Private Partnership (P3) school construction model that they worked to pass through the Maryland General Assembly. Under the continued guidance and leadership of the Progressive Education Partners (PEP), county students will see a total of 14 new P3 schools in 6 years – 18 schools in all including traditional school construction. Senator Alsobrooks released the following statement following the groundbreaking: “Our communities can tell what you value by where you invest your resources. As County Executive, I learned Prince George’s County faced an $8.5 billion school construction backlog. The truth is – it’s expensive to build and maintain schools. Coming up with a plan would take vision. It would require a willingness to act boldly because the need was immediate. And because these kinds of projects take a lot of time – even without unexpected challenges like a global pandemic – making it to this point would take patience and a commitment to the process even when success wasn’t immediately visible. This was a bold move – an innovative public-private model that had never before been done at this level for any school system. I am so proud of this work and know we need to continue working together, in innovative ways, to deliver for our children. This is a model that worked and should be used across the nation.” ###
